DESCRIPTION

From sketching to sewing, pattern-making to fashion show production, our comprehensive curriculum has established Moore’s Fashion Design Department as one of the most distinguished and acclaimed fashion design programs in the nation.

Our faculty of accomplished designers, practicing professionals, successful alumnae and guest critics and speakers mentor our students throughout their studies. Teaching from experience and by example, our faculty participates in critiques and portfolio reviews, while helping to connect students to valuable internship and employment opportunities.

ADVANTAGES

Classes regularly visit designers’ studios and showrooms, and retailers and suppliers in both Philadelphia and New York to learn first-hand from experts about competition, fabric buying, display and production. These experiences allow students to develop a personal perspective of both the creative and business sides of the industry.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Fashion Design majors have many choices in internship selection. From working in nationally and internationally renowned design studios and niche boutiques, to placements in corporate settings, these majors receive hand-on training in women’s fashion, children’s wear, men’s wear, active wear, outerwear, bridal attire and accessories. They also gain experience in the business standards of the fashion industry. In addition, students may explore related fields including merchandising, trend forecasting and retail operations.

FINANCIAL AID

Financing a student’s education can be thought of as a partnership among the student, her family, federal and state governments and Moore College of Art & Design. Moore wants qualified students to focus on earning their degrees without excessive concern over how to fund their educations. Moore is willing to make every effort to assist the student and her family to meet her educational costs. However, the College believes that the primary responsibility to finance a student’s education rests with the student and her family.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Moore College of Art & Design attracts qualified students from diverse economic backgrounds through its extensive financial aid programs. A private education should be affordable to all deserving students. In 2008-2009, approximately 85 percent of Moore’s undergraduate students attended school with the assistance of scholarships.

CERTIFICATIONS

Moore College of Art & Design is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), Pennsylvania State Council of Education (PSCE) and the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA formerly known as FIDER).

SUMMARY

As the first and only women’s visual arts college in the nation, Moore’s BFA program prides itself on educating women for careers in the visual arts, and providing the support they need to become leaders in their respective fields.
